* Having a strange problem here with the lsm_sys_security call's return
* value. When I use the dummy module, the lsm sycall returns -1.  As a
* simple example, I used:
* 
*# include <stdio.h>
*# include <errno.h>
*# include <unistd.h>
*# define __NR_lsm 223
*# include <asm/unistd.h>
* 
* _syscall3(long, lsm, int, id, int, what, void *, data);
* int main(int argc, char **argv)
* {
* 	long ret;
* 
* 	ret = lsm(110,3,0);
* 	printf("tryme: lsm call returned %ld.\n", ret)
* }
* 
* and tweaked security.c:sys_security to intercept the return value from the
* security_ops->sys_security() call.  The value returned from this call is
* in fact -38 as it should be, but the above code reports the returned
* value was -1.  Am I missing something obvious?

Take a look in errno, -38 should be there.

* 
* thanks,
